Tip: Use the iPad as a mini-whiteboard Install a painting app such as the free Doodle Buddy. Students can then use the iPad to draw their answers to questions as they would on a mini-whiteboard, but with less mess and no needs for pens.
Tip: Create mind maps tp brainstorm and think creatively Us a mind mapping app such as Idea Sketch (free and simple to use) to create mind maps. Ideal for pre-writing and revsions but can also be used to plan out projects. Can be viewed in both diagram and list views. Each sketch of an idea can be saved as an image.
Tip: Use the iPad for group research projects One iPad goes a long way when students are working in a group. It gives them instant access to the information they need to succeed - either through apps, stored data or the internet. The iPad is far more dynamic than a laptop - it can be shared, passed around, propped up, students can gather around - it quickly becomes a key tool for enabling group work. This spontaneous, shared, tactile access keeps student group projects flowing.
